Hey @jkuzma and @elliot,

We were having this exact same issue for the last few days and it was getting extremely frustrating as things broke four days before our client site’s go-live.

I read through all the other similar thread (ie. ‘field not saving data’) and tried the max_input_vars and memory limit fixes, to no avail.

And then I bumped into @jkuzmas post and realized our problems has started right after we decided to stop using the admin’s template selection meta-box, but reverted back to only PHP based templating (like we’ve always done in previous projects, hence why we’ve never seen this problem before).

So basically the problem was that the meta field _wp_page_template was set for a page, but the template didn’t exist anymore. Clear it empty, or better yet, fill it with the default phrase ‘default’, and everything works again.

We suspect this has something to do with ACF’s location rules checks.
